    The 1940's Radio Hour

    Additional Information

    Come and be transported back to the “radio days” of 1942 as San Jose Musical Theater, sponsored by Evergreen Valley College, presents a favorite Broadway Musical, The 1940s Radio Hour. The scene is December 1942 and Radio Station WOV is about to air its final broadcast of the year from the Algonquin Room of New York’s Hotel Astor. The spirit of that bygone era when the world was at war is the setting for this timeless play filled with classic tunes presented by the Zoot Doubleman Swing Band such as I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo, Our Love is Here to Stay, That Old Black Magic, Ain’t She Sweet, Blue Moon, I’ll Never Smile Again, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, I’ll Be Seeing You and many more.

    Participating as the radio audience of the 40s bygone days of the past, you’ll get to see the dance numbers, comedy routines, commercials, sound effects and a beloved cast of characters singing the hit music of the times. And, behind the scenes at the Radio Station, you’ll see a harassed producer coping with a drinking lead singer, the delivery boy who wants a chance in front of the mike, the second banana who dreams of singing a ballad, the classy and sassy cabaret singer, the overworked sound effects' person, and the trumpet playing orchestra member who chooses a fighter plane over Glen Miller.

    Presented by the Award Winning staff of Director, C. Michael Traw, Producer, Lucy Haab, Musical Director, Jesse Sanchez and Choreographer, Elizabeth Cox, the cast features, Nicky Nakashima* (who appears by courtesy of the Actors Equity Association), Gary Beytin, Sarah Griner, Dane Lenz, Brennah Kemmerly, Leslie Ivy, Alysia Beltran, Ron Houk and James Snell.

    The 1940s Radio Hour plays for 4-performances only at Evergreen Valley College Theater with 2 evening and 2 matinee performances between December 8th and December 10th. If you like, wear your favorite 1940s clothing on Opening Night December 8th and go to the USO table in the lobby to receive a free 40's favorite treat, a Moon Pie.
